I find that the only thing that will clean the gray grates is oven cleaner.
I put them in a garbage bag, spray with heavy duty oven cleaner (yellow
can), and let them sit all night. I find that the odorless oven cleaner in
the blue can doesn't work well. You can generally just rinse them off in
the morning. I agree that the burners are too close. Another thing that I
hate is the design of the grates. If you have a small pan it will rock
because there is very little support.
